One netizen wrote, “This guy is still this level of smug. I wonder how many of his family members and industry friends were feigning shock when sexual harassment allegations came out against him? They were seriously shocked that a dude this egoistic and arrogant also harassed women? Bipasha didn’t promote Humshakals because of his arrogance and bad behaviour on sets and the likes of Ritesh didn’t know?”
The second second user wrote, “Sajid Khan being a poster man for how dumb people can be in the industry. Farhaa best director? Puts bhansali below kjo? I’m not much of a bhansali fan either but he’s still better than these over the top drama makers.”
The third user wrote, “This POS thinks Bhansali is over rated? And in year that saw movies like Udaan, Rajneeti and Peepli live, he thinks Tees Maar Khan is no 1.”
